me Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 ....i'm fairly new to bittorrent so pardon the fact that this is a pretty simple question. i understand the concept of seeding and why it's so critical to the bittorrent community. consequently, i try to seed regularly and at this point, i think i've uploaded more bytes than i've downloaded. one thing i do for virtually all the stuff i download is select certain files and only download those. in fact, i've only downloaded one song each from probably 40% of the torrents i have (BTW, i use bittorrent exclusively for music files). i just don't want all the other songs so i just download the one song i want. sometimes i download a few songs from a torrent, but rarely do i download all the files from a torrent. so here's my question - am i then considered a leecher because i don't have the whole torrent file, even though i upload more bytes than i download? i read some definitions today that would lead me to believe such. any info is appreciated. thanks.

moogly Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 No. Just seed what you downloaded and it's ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattRatt Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 In a sense, you're seeding the files that you completed, so you are a seeder. As long as your ratio >1, you really can't be considered a leecher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
